The Potential for Microalgae as Bioreactors to Produce Pharmaceuticals

As photosynthetic organisms, microalgae can efficiently convert solar energy into biomass. Microalgae are currently used as an important source of valuable natural biologically active molecules, such as carotenoids, chlorophyll, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, phycobiliproteins, carotenoids and enzymes. Significant advances have been achieved in microalgae biotechnology over the last de...

Immobilization of Trypsin in Lignocellulosic Waste Material to Produce Peptides with Bioactive Potential from Whey Protein

In this study, trypsin (Enzyme Comission 3.4.21.4) was immobilized in a low cost, lignocellulosic support (corn cob powder-CCP) with the goal of obtaining peptides with bioactive potential from cheese whey. The pretreated support was activated with glyoxyl groups, glutaraldehyde and IDA-glyoxyl. The immobilization yields of the derivatives were higher than 83%, and the retention of catalytic ac...

Diversity of Micromonospora strains from the deep Mediterranean Sea and their potential to produce bioactive compounds

During studies on bacteria from the Eastern Mediterranean deep-sea, incubation under in situ conditions (salinity, temperature and pressure) and heat treatment were used to selectively enrich representatives of Micromonospora. From sediments of the Ierapetra Basin (4400 m depth) and the Herodotos Plain (2800 m depth), 21 isolates were identified as members of the genus Micromonospora. According...

Production of Hydroxylapatite from Biowaste, Chicken Manure by Hydrothermal Process

Hydrothermal process has been applied for effective production of Hydrogen from biowastes. In this study hydrothermal process for production of valuable Hydroxylapatitefrom chicken manure containing phosphorus was focused on. Conditions of 400 ̊C and 26 27 MPa with addition of 1 mmol Ca(OH)2 were determined as the optimal by using Ophospho-DL-serine as a model compound. Afterwards, the real biow...
